A veteran special effects crewmember is being treated after being electrocuted on the set of "Mr. Mercedes," the AT&T Audience Network TV series. “Safety of our cast and crew is our top priority and we wish our crewmember a speedy recovery,” the statement said. The company would not release the identity or the gender of the crewmember, said to be a 27-year veteran of the industry. Last March, a crewmember on the Mötley Crüe biopic "The Dirt" survived after being electrocuted in New Orleans while de-rigging a set. In 2014, Ronnie Sands was nearly killed when he was electrocuted while setting up lights on the Atlanta set of "Selma."
